• 1 Medium Potato
• 1 Medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Tspn Ginger Garlic Paste
• 1 Medium Tomato, chopped finely
• 1 Tspn Cumin Seeds

METHOD

• Boil the potato. Cut into small cubes. Keep aside.
• Chop the okra into 1" long pieces. Shallow fry them in hot oil till tender. Strain out the okra pieces and keep aside (preferably on a kitchen towel to get rid of any excess oil).
• In the same pan, add cumin seeds. As they splutter, add sliced onion. Saute till onion becomes translucent.
• Add the ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell disappears. Add in the chopped tomato, chilly powder, salt and turmeric. Fry till tomato becomes soft and oil starts leaving the masala mix.
• Add the pre-fried okra along with the potato cubes. Mix well. Add the cumin powder and coriander powder. 
• Cook for another couple of minutes till all the vegetable pieces are well coated with the masala.
• Goes best hot with roti.
